essad pasha toptani
i wanted to know if anyone had a picture of the albanian trouble maker, essad pasha toptani? he was an ottoman pasha who caused so much trouble for prince whilhelm von wied(he was one of wied's cabinent ministers,also one of wieds first albanian appointments to be general in his new kingom), betrayed the ottoman empire at the montenegrin siege of scutari(balkan wars 1912-13), sold out his country to montenegro, serbia, and any other country who was willing to give him what he wanted (a kingdom in central albania) at the expense of his whole people. he was eventually assassinated in france after ww1. i've read quite a bit about him, but i've never seen a photo of this guy.
